1kg gold price Singapore
One kilogram of gold equals 1,000 grams. So the underlying reference value is simple: 1,000 × current SGD gold value per gram. An actual 1kg gold bar, or kilobar, will have its own market price.

What is a kilobar?
A kilobar is a gold bar weighing one kilogram. Exact fineness and manufacturer specifications vary by product. UOB, for example, currently describes its kilobar pricing as applying to kilobars of 99.99% fineness quoted in SGD/kg. That UOB specification should not be treated as a definition of every 1kg gold product.
Why does a kilobar cost more than 1,000 × spot?
A physical bar may include refining, casting, assaying, logistics, dealer margin and product premium. The premium per gram can often be lower on larger bars than on small bars, although actual dealer prices still need to be compared.
Why buy 1kg rather than smaller bars?
A larger denomination can reduce the premium per gram. The trade-off is that it requires much more capital and offers less flexibility if you later want to sell only part of your holding. A recognised kilobar also cannot simply be divided into smaller pieces while preserving the original product's identity, packaging and resale characteristics.
Compare by effective price per gram
The useful comparison is retail price ÷ bar weight. Only populate dealer columns with contemporaneous comparable data.
